Reviews

Great instructor, clear and concise course. Labs were easy to follow and worked perfectly.

Very good couse and again we would like to see more videos on removing FRUs

Some Labs are very good but some steps it ask to update but its already updated, but overall its very good training.

The class and material is good. I think some of the software needs to be updated.

I was very satisfied about how the course was organized. Sean Did a very good work
